<p>Hey <span aria-label="wave" class="emoji emoji-1f44b" role="img" title="wave">:wave:</span>,<br>
I would like to help and participate in the simd projects and plans. <br>
Are there still some free spaces for new members?</p>

<p>Yes! we don't have any strict members limit and the task is surely big enough that we'll need the help.</p>

<p>That’s nice. Can you or someone else give a quick overview over the current status and plans?</p>

<p>In no particular order, we will<br>
1) Announce ourselves.<br>
2) Build out a std::simd submodule for the compiler.<br>
3) Gradually phase out packed_simd.<br>
4) Provide info on "what even is SIMD?"</p>

<p>Hi <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="230287">@Stu</span>! The broad plan is in <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/project-portable-simd/blob/master/CHARTER.md">our charter</a>. We just had our first meeting this morning. There's <a href="https://hackmd.io/a2vhyS0ZTtq1e7JkH2kabA">a summary here</a>. We also have <a href="https://hackmd.io/_2MnKA4FTEaiac7RR1MG4A#Announcing-Portable-SIMD">an announcement in the works with a little more context</a>.</p>

<p>Even if we literally ran out of things to do, we could always throw you at adjacent issues like const generics and core::arch.</p>

<p>Depending on your background, if you can solve the most recent few issues with <code>packed_simd</code> regarding the MMX stuff causing build error, that'd be grand. But if not that's totally fine too.</p>

<p>retitled topic solely because I expect someone else to come by and wonder what the current status is and hopefully they'll click on the topic named Current status. &lt;_&lt;</p>

<p>Okay I will try to fix some issues (with the bug label I guess) in packed_simd</p>

<p>Specifically this one: <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/packed_simd/issues/288">https://github.com/rust-lang/packed_simd/issues/288</a>, and if you scroll down in the issue there's already a proposed fix you can try out.</p>
<p>We don't need to fix all the <code>packed_simd</code> bugs, but we at least need to make sure it can build.</p>
